Paintings From the Oregon Outback

"Mile Post 3" oil 32" x 28" © 2011 sfsmith
The Mile Post Series explores the textures of the landscape ~ they are meant to be visually monumental, but familiar as we recognize the forms and relationships, or sense the energy in the empty space.

"Yellow Cattle Guard - Late November 2011" oil , 8" x 16" © 2011 sfsmith
The Landscapes of the Interior West Series explores the lifeblood of nature – the energy within and around us, the wind, sun, rain, trees and rocks and leaf-fall, all the processes of life as we experience it. It is through this effort that we can hope to understand the whole.
